$8,000 Extremely Rare Air Jordan 1 METALLIC Restoration
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- In this week’s episode, Vick takes on a crazy rare sneaker restoration: a pair of 1985 Air Jordan 1 'Orange Metallics'. These iconic Jordans, almost 40 years old, are among the rarest in the world. Vick's challenge? Bringing them back to life while preserving the original paint and materials-a tricky task given their age. Watch to see how he works his magic!
The story starts with the seller bringing these vintage Orange Metallics to Reshoevn8r HQ in Phoenix, Arizona. Our man Bob originally bought these at Sports Authority over 40 years ago for just $115. Fast forward to today, and he cashed in with a cool $8,000! Proof that sneaker reselling isn't dead.
Vick kicks off the restoration by carefully removing the laces and insoles, exposing 40 years of built-up grime. Using an air compressor, he blows out the excess dirt to prepare for the deep clean.
Next, the cleaning process begins. Vick places the laces in our Reshoevn8r Dry Rack & Bowl Combo with a mix of cleaning solution and water. For the delicate uppers, he uses the Reshoevn8r Brass Brush, being extra careful to avoid flaking any more of the iconic orange metallic paint. A toothbrush helps reach those tight areas around the paint. He then tackles the outsoles with the Stiff Brush, wiping away decades of grime.
To finish the uppers, Vick applies our brand-new foam cleaner to the tongue, giving it a couple of pumps and a gentle scrub with the Soft Brush to remove trapped dirt. The results on this ultra-rare Jordan 1 are stunning!
For the final touches, Vick places the shoes in the Vick 3000 overnight to whiten the yellowed uppers. After a few days, the laces are fully cleaned, and he finishes off with a spray of mink oil to revive the old leather and restore its original color.
Vick absolutely nailed this restoration! Which pair should he tackle next? Drop your suggestions in the comments and don’t forget to grab 20% off all Reshoevn8r shoe care products with discount code 'Metallic20'. Thanks for watching, and we’ll see you in the next video!

I don't know how you stay so calm working on such an iconic piece. Amazing work as usual!
Thank you so much 😀
My cousin bought those shoes 😂🖤 you did an awesome job restoring them!
Thank you, thank you!
Talk about a Grail! I would give up my entire collection for a DS pair of these! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
WOW like them that much
@@RESHOEVN8R Yes I do lol
Keep up the good work Vick 😎
🧡
Im a OG sneakerhead. Love that vid!
Might be the cleanest metallic oranges ive ever seen. Especially in that size!
They are in great condition!
my fav type of jordan and color combination 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching!
I'm really hoping Jordan rereleases these in the 85 cut and I'm really hoping they are bricks like the red metallic 85 cuts that I was able to get resale for $120 shipped.
I think we all can agree with this comment! Thanks for watching.
Great job. Your the best Vick. Can you clean Jordan 1 zoom comfort high. Thank you.
Thank you! We will keep this idea in mind!
Air Jordan 1s were the first Team Air Jordans, the reason why they released 14 color ways from 85-86 was so they could get the Air Jordan 1s on as many kids feet's as possible. The AJ1 was also apart of the NIKE BE TRUE TO YOUR SCHOOL Campaign. There's hundreds of photos out there of high school teams in the 80s wearing the AJ1s.
Thanks for sharing that backstory, super interesting!
At first I thought it was the burgundy’s, but I never would’ve thought the one the only Vick Almighty would work on “this” pair of Mets.
ClasSickkkk🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching David!
Would have loved to see the final product (w/ laces). 👍🏾
I’ve been using y’all’s solution with oxyclean powder to clean my shoes for while best combo and results I’ve ever gotten.
Good thing we partnered wth Oxiclean on our new foam cleaner!
What a grail 🔥🔥🔥
🏆
They came out pretty good for a 40yr old shoe...idk who would pay 8k for them but if it makes u happy thats all that matters. Great job vick i love your monday uploads its always something different 👍
Thanks for watching!
That sink needs a restoration for itself
Haha 🤣
That essentials kit never fails Vic
It never does🤷♂
What’s the point of the bristle brush versus the normal hard brush?
The different bristles will allow you to get the most effective clean regardless of the materials!
OG is too smooth
after watching this I will wear my AJKOs in same colour way tomorrow
When is the Travis Scott medium olive restoration coming?
In a few weeks!
Hey guys i would like to see a video in cleaning the wet cement is there possibly one in the making? 🤘🤞
Great suggestion! Let us work on getting a pair to clean!
🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥
Would you work on a air jordan white cement 3s 1994?
crazy find Vick! cool story
Crazy shoe! Thanks for watching
I don't think I've ever seen Vic use the brass bristle brush on a midsole before. Skill tree unlocked
Ngl the orange is pretty clean kinda get a shattered back board vibe from them 👍🏽
Big vibes!
Please help my OG 18’s need a restoration!! I wore them for the first time in many years and the carbon fiber on the soul flaked off.
We aren't accepting any at the moment but stay tuned for when we are.
i want learn all this process if you are a provides training ❤
EVERY MONDAY!
Air Jordan 1 H OG *Scattered Backboards* are returning in July 2025.
👍
Thanks for watching Ricky!
If i knew in 1988 when i got thr blakc & grey 3s how mich they eould be worth thousands
Watch they’ll be making orange metallic soon
How on earth is that glue still holding meanwhile pairs that are 8 years old separate completely? Nike is so weird.
Right!!
Cause it’s a lie
Do some UNC Jordan 4 discoloration come back
We can start looking for a used pair!
I don’t understand how the uppers are so beat down yet the bottom soles have no heel drag
The uppers will hold alot more of the dirt and dust in storage, don't think these where worn to much which is why there is no heel drag.
8 grand no way. Nike will eventually retro these.
We hope they do!
Why don’t you make bigger bottles for the shoe cleaners , or lower the prices ?
We have different sizes and prices on our website for our shoe cleaning solution!
Most impressive
Thank you brotha! Looking forward to bringing you back on the channel soon 🙂
I got a pair I need restored... Can you help me
Unfortunately Vick isn't accepting projects at the moment, but keep an eye out on our channel for further announcements as we may need them in the future!
I am fans of nike since i am in high school now me was 53, please restoration NIke Sky Force High or Nike White X Navy that is the vintage nike in 1985 before Air Jordan was Booming
We got you
spending 4 digits on a pair of shoes is insane to me
They were pretty pricey!
@@RESHOEVN8Rive yet to surpass $300 on kicks
Nowadays thats pretty average 😪
Excuse me is it possible to clean my shoes
Yes! You can checkout our mail-in cleaning service options on Reshoevn8r.com
The IRS…. For me… for me… for me… for me… and for me….
🤔
They did make em like that again... 85ogs 2025... right
If they ever dropped I’d cop off the strength that I’m from Syracuse.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
8k 😂
He more than likely bought these at Oshman's
Throwback
Good cleaning…but I don’t care how rare of a sneaker it is there’s no way I’m paying $8000 for it…and for ALL of you that feel the need to tell me how you feel or you “collectors” that say it’s only for you PLEASE DON’T… I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU THINK
Everyone is different
Facts most I would pay for a pair of shoes is $300
Ok good for you ? But this a a rare sneaker restoration channel and even if you say your opinion we don’t really care. Us collectors will still continue to buy even if you say this
@@rudyklemencsics.ms3 bro relax…just like you don’t care what I think I couldn’t care less about what you think…
not tryn to hate but bruh i agree😭😭People homeless out here and we throwin bread at shoes thats gon need a resto again, but everyone different thank God he blessed enough to spend that type of bread🤷🏾♂️
This guy made a video about shoe string
Not worth 8k💯 they fire tho🔥🫡
We live in the dumbest timeline in human history.
What makes you say that?
@ because I need to be convinced that a gym shoe something you wear on your feet something that touches the ground is worth $8000.
@ but don’t get me wrong. I respect what you do. You do amazing work brother I mean amazing work.
Thank you! We know people have all sorts of opinions when it comes to sneakers! We aren't trying to convince you that the shoes are worth $8000...our goal is to inform and entertain!
@ You definitely do a good job. I sit and watch your vids for hours. 👍 Respect
8k for a shoe with tha same quality as a j1 shoe in the stores today. SMH.
How you count that slow and mess the count up. Tried to finesse his middleman fee. Lol
🤣
Isn’t that guy always wearing OG Jordan 1s from 85?
Who?
@@RESHOEVN8R the older gentleman
I was watching a sneaker expo and he was there wearing OG 85Jordan 1s
Bad investment
They might be worth more in the future🤷♂
Clean af but still not wearable lets be honest
Due to them being older and rare, we probably won't be wearing these!
Should’ve just left them as is honestly
I got 8k if anyone finds another
Your in the right place
Not good restoration at all
It was more of a cleaning than it was a restoration. For being almost 40 years old they look pretty damn good.
Some people just want a deep cleaning on these old OG pairs and leaving them as is in terms of condition so they look like they’re from 1985 and they have character and tell a story that they’re 40yrs old!
